Gekko Brief
AI summaryEchoStar's only recent headline is a filing showing Corient Private Wealth LP taking a new stake of 8,944 shares, valued at approximately $908,000. The company's last earnings call, on 3 August, centered on the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of Hughes Corporation after it could not restructure a $1.5 billion bond maturity, a proceeding management said is limited to Hughes entities and excludes EchoStar Corp and its international subsidiaries, with the Board also increasing stock buybacks.
ECHO closed at $89.22, down 1%, sitting below both its 50-day average of $89.89 and its 200-day average of $109.07, with the 50-day also below the 200-day. Shares are up 3.2% over one month but down 8.2% over three months and 25.1% over six months, up 21.2% over one year. The GekkoIndex reads 61.3, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, while price sits 16.2% below the Gekko Fair Value estimate of $106.51.
The next earnings date falls on 5 November, 37 days out and beyond a typical 20-day holding window. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in their respective windows, though one billionaire holder and two trailblazer holders are noted. Six analysts covering the stock all rate it a buy, with a consensus target of $131.44. Seasonality over five years shows an average 20-day return of -1.9% from this point, rising in 2 of those years, a pattern worth noting alongside the stock's typical 20-day move of 8.7%.

Last earnings call, Aug 3, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- EchoStar's Q2 2026 call was dominated by the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of Hughes Corporation, triggered by an inability to restructure a $1.5 billion bond maturity due August 1. The bankruptcy is limited to Hughes entities, excluding EchoStar Corp and Hughes international subsidiaries. Management emphasized normal business continuity for Hughes during proceedings. The Board increased stock buyback authorization to $5 billion, with capital allocation priorities focused on business investment, EchoStar Capital opportunities, and potential buybacks.
- Guidance
- No formal financial guidance was provided. Management indicated uncertainty around Hughes bankruptcy timeline. Capital allocation priority order: business reinvestment, EchoStar Capital investments, share buybacks, and dividends as a last resort.
